hello, my name is erik i have been playing magic for a year now ive been in some tournaments here and there but nothing big. one of my friends got me into magic and gave me some of his cards since then ive been picking up stuff here and there. i have been trying to build keeper right now its not powered unless u count a library. im in 9th grade and play with upper classmen and so on. sn for aim is ewj89 neone that could help out im me cya...
4  Eternal Formats / Creative / Counterspells and Card Advantage on: March 12, 2004, 10:28:36 pm
personally i think the 1 mana counter might be a little too strong because what about decks that use underworld dreams arcane is already a great card for that and if u can get it off earlier it would just give the guy a better advantage....then again it would only be good for one deck...so who knows...oh well just givin an opinion..kinda new to the site
5  Eternal Formats / Creative / [Tourney Report] February 8th, 2004 on: February 10, 2004, 09:00:35 pm
the tnt deck combo's out good.....always gets the upper hand against me. the deck runs well unless mana screw (but hey what doesnt unless power) its an alright deck though  Very Happy  hehe cya
6  Eternal Formats / Creative / Blue Dreams V5.0 on: January 30, 2004, 09:17:48 pm
if you play against keeper alot i wouldnt really recomend a wheel because keeper is supposed to always have seven cards in hand thats why most of them run library of alexandria and id also recoment pyrostatic pillars because almost everything in keeper costs 3 or less. and good thats cool with the scroll as a kill condition thats what i run as a kill most of the time.well just trying to help. good luck with everything

im picking up a library today and most of those lands like karakas and maze are just fillers until i get some more undergrounds. i will eventually be picking up 3 more manadrains but i dont know what place in time it will happen.

u dont need a 5 color with dreamhalls it doesnt work out right  halls works best in mono blue. if you add colors here and there though just add what you need so you dont have to worry about your build too much you dont want to straggle from the point of the deck too much.

10  Eternal Formats / Creative / Critique my Totaliran Academy Deck please! on: January 27, 2004, 07:12:51 pm
i run a little acadamy but not exactly like yours......yours built better i think  since your running twister you should put in tormads crypt for that reason and for reanimators and sb some graveyard removal......i have my deck posted in newbie forums and if you can help me out a little it will be much appreciated.

the crypt and other graveyard removal also take out dragon most of the time......so thats always good....damn those dragons. well cya good luck on workin on your deck

Double post merged. Next time use the edit button, thanks

4th  color* my bad
15  Vintage Community Discussion / Casual Forum / My "Legendary" Dream Halls Deck v.7 on: January 26, 2004, 08:56:37 pm
a third color wouldnt be bad with all the search u have plus with the squee if you added it, you could keep on using it and worry less about that 3rd color it sounds like an awesome deck though that you have. i dont know much about decks like that i run a semi keeper type....needs a lot of tuning though.... hope that deck idea does work out though
